Abstract
An image capturing apparatus comprising: an image sensor that shoots a subject image that is incident thereon via an imaging optical system; a setting unit that sets a background flow amount in panning shooting; a calculation unit that calculates, in panning shooting, an exposure period of exposing the image sensor from the background flow amount, an angular velocity detected by a detection unit that detects an angular velocity of vibration, and a focal length of the imaging optical system, so as to obtain the background flow amount set by the setting unit; and a limitation unit that, if the exposure period calculated by the calculation unit is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, limits the exposure period to the threshold value.
